In the
centre of the 2.000 mē area for ducks and little sociable geese

there is an
artificial pond overgrown with reed and water lilies .

In the garden
around the pond I have laid out some small plastic or

aluminium ponds, where
the pairs can withdraw during the breeding period.

As soon as
the first ducklings of the year are hatched, most of these ponds

are closed
off one by one as rearing area for some weeks. When the rearing

season is
over the enclosures are removed.

For geese:

Bigger and
unsociable geese are kept in a fruit garden of about 3.000 mē

with a small
pond.

The turf is
still in good condition due to the size of this garden.

Some isolated
enclosures for very unsociable geese are planned.

In this garden
I also keep a gaggle of free flying Graylag Geese. They fly many kilometres
around the area, but they only land in this garden or in the ducks pond.
Only in early spring, before they start hatching, they also visit the
surrounding grassland and fields, but all their nests are within this
garden.
